Dear All,
I promised I would find out about the etymology of Computers & Compilers. I´ll share with you what I have found.
As regards Compile, I´ve found that it comes from the old French compilé/compiler.
To compile (verb) is to put together; to assemble; to make by gathering things from various sources.
- Samuel Johnson compiled one of the most influential dictionaries of the English language.
The etymology of compiler derives from the verb Compile + the suffix -er.

As regards computer, it is the same case! I`ve just found out that it comes from the verb Compute + the suffix -er.

Referring to only, its etymology is quite different because it comes from Germanic Old English and what is true is that it corresponds to ONE + LY/LIKE.

Well, that would be all so far! Hope to have clarified doubts!
In touch,
Yanina
The morning after (by Maureen McGovern)
ResponderEliminarthere's got to be a morning after
if we can hold on through the night
we have a chance to find the sunshine
let's keep on lookin' for the light
Oh, can you see the morning after ?
it's waiting right outside the storm
why don't we cross the bridge together
and find a place that's safe and warm ?
it's not too late, we should be givin'
only with love can we climb
it's not too late, not while we're livin'
let's put our hand out in time.
there's got to be a morning after
we're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
and we'll escape the darkness
we won't be searchin' anymore
there's got to be a morning after
there's got to be a morning after
there's got to be a morning after
there's got to be a morning after ('till fade)

ResponderEliminarBy the way, the song I've left yesterday is available in
youtube.com/watch?v=_KClpLzFftU
if somebody would like to listen it, and also everybody who likes antological music, can run his/her prefered audio-player and load this URL:
http://intramundo.com.ar/goodbye.mp3 (in Spanish) or:
http://intramundo.com.ar/goodbye_en.mp3 (in English version)
and listen 'em such as a tribute to The Beatles. I used to hear this song about 1970's by LS-10 Radio del Plata, every night at eleven PM when Juan Carlos Alberto Badía began his half an hour show called BEATLEMANIA. This tribute has been maden by Los Bárbaros (old musical group): the song is titled: "Paul, John, George & Ringo, Good-Bye". Do anybody remember it? ... I hope so.
Dear Gustavo,
ResponderEliminarI've found that the song is so beautiful that I've decided to upload it here! Thanks for sharing with us. Have you seen the first entry? Would you mind introducing yourself?
Lots of kisses! Let's wait for others to join in! And HAPPY MUM"S DAY TO ALL THE MUMS!!!
Me alegra que les haya gustado la canción, hoy no tengo ganas de escribir en inglés, voy a escribir en español... Se acuerdan de los sufijos ?
ResponderEliminarSummary deriva de un grupo de palabras terminadas en -ry, equivalente al -rio/-ria hispano. Ejemplos: dictionary=diccionario, vocabulary=vocabulario, library (traduccion literal)=librario, monastery=monasterio, cementery=cementerio, obituary=obituario (siempre doy ejemplos felices, je je je). Derivan todos de los sufijos del latín arium, erium, irium y orium. O sea que se puede considerar un sufijo.
Del mismo modo, los terminados en -dy que corresponden al Español -dio/-dia, por ej. Commedy=comedia, tragedy=tragedia, study=estudio, etc.
Idem, los terminados en -tion, en esp. -ción: station=estación, action=acción, description=descripción, information=información. O bien, terminados en -sion. = esp. -sión: decision=decisión, presion=presión, mansion=mansión.
La palabra solo (alone) también deriva de la conjunción de all (todos) y one (uno). También tiene un orígen germánico, alle + eins = alein (alone), o sea que muchas palabras que tomamos como únicas (porque realmente lo son) derivaron de una conjunción de dos palabras originarias, no al azar, sino calculadas exactamente con los elementos o herramientas conque contaba el idioma al ser incorporadas al lenguaje común, acorde a la época de su incorporación.
Las estructuras de los lenguajes son tan exactas que no se podrían inventar palabras que no cumplieran con ciertas mínimas reglas específicas que no fueran las derivadas precisamente de sus propias normativas idiomáticas.
...continuará...
Dear Gustavo,
ResponderEliminarWow! It seems you've been carrying out some research! Thanks a lot! I really value your contributions!
Love,

Sabías que en Alemán tu apellido Crimi se refiere a un policial (un film policial)?
ResponderEliminarSeguramente ya lo sabías.
Dear Gustavo,
ResponderEliminarI had no idea, in fact! Thanks for the info!
